West Memphis 3

The West Memphis 3 were three people tried and convicted for triple homicide in the 1993 murders of three children in the Robin Hood Hills in West Memphis, Arkansas in the United States. One of them, Damian Echols, was sentenced to death; the other two, Jessie Misskelley and Jason Baldwin, were sentenced to life in prison. It is claimed by some that all three are innocent. There is, ten years later, still no physical evidence of the guilt of the teens. A mess was made of the crime scene by police officers who investigated. Things like black concert t-shirts and Pink Floyd lyrics were presented in court as evidence against the teenagers. A support group of people protesting Echols' innocence was formed shortly after the convictions. Two films, Paradise Lost and Paradise Lost - Revelations, have documented this case, as has a book, Blood Of Innocents.
